ABSTRACT

Many studies has been conducted on the utilization of waste products in Mortar and concrete.The use of waste products for making mortar and concrete,not only the cost of construction can be bring down,but also it will give a solution for the safe disposal.In this paper the garbage paper pulp along with quarry dust was used for making mortar and concrete.The use of paper pulp and quarry dust was used to replace partially the cement and the fine aggregate.From the studies conducted in the laboratory it shows siginificant improvement with respect to compressive strength,water absorption and static bending test

INTRODUCTION
Concrete is the most common building material for many years.It is a construction material which consists of cement,aggregate and water.Many reaserch work has been taken up to lower the cement content and use suitable material to replace fine aggregate and the coarse aggregate.Many waste material are available in nature which poseshealth problems

if it is dumped in the landfills. Flyash which is obtained from burning a coal posses pozzolanic properties and can be used as a replacement material for cement.These material if it is not used properly poses environmental problem. By products which is obtained from different industries produce different waste materials, if this is not deposited safely it poses different environmental problem.About 35% of municipal solid waste by weight is paper and paper products(wikipedia).World wide consumption of paper has risen by 400% in the paste 40 years leading to increase in deforestation with 35% of harvested trees being used for paper manufacture(wiki pedia).paper has alaways been essential part of our classrooms whether it be taking otes,handouts,assignmentsor tests,they all use paper. Paper usage is inevitable in all levels of schools(pays to live green) With this background, in this work paper pulp and quarry dust are used to prepare mortar and concrete so that it will be useful for making low cost material

R.Srinivasn,K.Sathiya and M.Palanisamy has made study on use of hypo sludge for making partial replacement of cement.They studied that the hypo sludge cotains low
calcium and maximum calcium chloride and minium amount of silica. Hypo sludge behaves like cement because of silica and magnssium properties and this will improve the setting of concrete.In the experimental study 150*150*150 mm concrete cubes were casted using M25 grade concrete specimens with oridinary portland cement and ordinary portland cement replaced with hypo sludge at 10%,20%,30%,40%,50%, and 60% levels were cast. The addition of hypo sludge shows a marginal improvement in altering ultimate compressive strength of the cubes.The split tensile strength should be decreased when the percentage of the replacement is increased.The addition of hypo sludge reduces the cost of making concrete marginally.Finally they conclude that the replacement of cement with hypo sludge provides maximum compressive

strength at 30% replacement. J R . PITRODA and F S UMRIGAR studied the use of fly ash and hypo sludge in concrete formulations in making traditional concrete.They studied that the modulus of elasticity of concrete is a very important property to determine the deflection of the structural elements.The hypo sludge from J.K.paper mill pvt Ltd, Tappi district was used for this study.The cement has been replaced by fly ash and hypo sludge in the range of 10%,20%,30% and 40% by weight of cement for M25 and M40 mix. Concrete mixtures were produced, tested and compared in terms of modulus of elasticity with conventional concrete for 56 days water curing.From the study they concluded that the modulus of elasticity decreases with % replacement of fly ash and hypo sludge.The use of fly ash and hypo sludge produces a greener concrete for construction.From this study they concluded that fly ash and hypo sludge can be used as a construction

material where less strength is required. Sumit A Balwaik,S.P Raut has studied the

use of paper-mill pulp in concrete formulations as an alternative to land fill disposal.The cement has been replaced by waste paper sludge accordingly in the range of 5% to 20% by weight for M20 and M30 mix.concrete mixtures are produced and compared in terms of slump and strength with the conventional concrete.The concrete specimens were tested for compression test,splitting tensile test and flexural test.Based on the results it was found that addition of waste paper pulp increases the compressive ,splitting tensile and flexural strength up to 10% marginally and further the addition of waste paper pulp reduces the strength gradually. The concluction were drawn

01. The most sutiable mix proportion is the 5 to 10% replacement of waste paper pulp to cement. 02. There was increase in water absorption of the concrete mixes as the content of the paper pulp increased. Finally they derived that the use of waste paper pulp in concrete can save, the pulp
